Awesome location

If you like to be off the grid amidst the trees this is the place for you. We like to camp next to the creek. Fishing is plentiful and the air is great as long as there’s no fires near.

Out There

After a long drive on a forest service road we reached the campground.  It's out there.  We went in late summer after a particularly bad drought year but fires were allowed.  The camp ground host was super vigilant and checked regularly to see we had a shovel and a bucket of water on standby.  He ran a tight ship.   (Kudos to him.)  Little water in the stream and hot and dusty.  Figure in a normal year this place is brilliant.

A perfectly lovely campground

We spent four nights at the end of July in this beautiful campground in Sequoia National Forest. The entrance to the road which leads from Sherman Pass to the campground does not give a clear indication that there is, in fact, a campground at the end. It’s an old logging road which we had to take quite slowly in our Hyundai Sonata, but we were very glad that we did. There are several hikes which are accessible from the campground. The water is potable, but spring fed, so availability is dependent upon whether things have dried up for the season. The nearest supplies are an hour one-way and there is no cell or wifi anywhere nearby. The camp host, Wayne , has been hosting the campground for 20 years and does a great job. The campsites are a truly mixed bag. Some are spacious, shady, flat, and along a creek while others seem a bit more attractive to those who are part mountain goat and do not require level surfaces for any reason.😁. At 7,600 ft., the nights dropped into the forties. A welcome break from the southern CA heat. We will definitely be returning often!

Frequently Asked Questions

What recreational activities are available at Horse Meadow and surrounding areas?

Horse Meadow offers excellent fishing opportunities in the creek that runs through the campground. The surrounding Sequoia National Forest provides numerous hiking trails through beautiful woodland terrain. The area is perfect for nature lovers who enjoy bird watching and wildlife spotting in a peaceful forest setting. Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the scenic mountain views and forest landscapes. During clear nights, stargazing is exceptional due to minimal light pollution in this remote location. The forest roads also provide options for mountain biking and exploring. For those seeking solitude and connection with nature, the secluded setting offers plenty of quiet contemplation among the trees.

What amenities are available at Horse Meadow Campground?

Horse Meadow Campground offers basic amenities for primitive camping in the Sequoia National Forest. The campground has fire rings for campfires (though fire restrictions may apply during drought conditions), and campground hosts are present who monitor fire safety. You'll need to bring your own water as there is no potable water on site. Vault toilets are available for campers. The campground is rustic and designed for those seeking an off-grid experience, so expect limited facilities overall. Be prepared with all necessary supplies before arrival, as the remote location means services are not readily available nearby.
